About principle-never-block-on-the-human

A workflow principle for agents working under asynchronous human supervision. It favors making reversible decisions and presenting results, while reserving confirmation for irreversible actions.

Key features

  1. 01Proceed with reversible work
  2. 02Present completed results
  3. 03Fix issues in later rounds
  4. 04Confirm irreversible actions

Use cases

  1. 01Avoid pauses for routine code edits
  2. 02Continue work while awaiting human review
  3. 03Request approval before external or destructive actions

Install

Copy the command and run it in a terminal.

From the project README

Never Block on the Human

The human supervises asynchronously. Agents must stay unblocked. Make reasonable decisions, proceed, and let the human course-correct after the fact.

Why: Every permission pause stalls the pipeline and makes the human the bottleneck. Since code changes are reversible and reviewable, a wrong decision usually costs less than blocking.

Pattern:

  • Proceed, then present. Do the work, show the result. Don't ask "should I do X?" Do X, explain why.
  • Make the system self-healing. When you notice a problem, log it and fix it in the next round.

Boundaries:

  • Irreversible actions (force-push, delete production data, send external messages) still require confirmation.
  • Reversible actions (write code, edit notes, split tasks) should proceed without blocking.
  • Product direction comes from the human. Execution should not block.
